That clear roof is kinda nuts, but also pretty dang rad. Curious to see how it holds up over time. what material/thickness is it, 3/4th Plexiglass? how flexible is it while closing up, can you walk on the closed roof still?
It’s 1/4” thick with a self healing ppf on the exterior. 3/4” thick is too heavy and would exceed the weight limit of the gas struts. The stock honeycomb panel is only 1/2” thick. It’s pretty rigid but I wouldn’t walk on it. Not sure why I would need to. I don’t keep anything on my roof. I modeled this after the Inspired Overland Stargazer RTT. Thought it would be nice to have a GFC version that I can watch the stars at night or the rain during the day.

Rad! we stick our heads out the back of the tent to watch the stars, this is a pro move haha.
I do walk on my roof a fair amount. loading kayaks, getting a better vantage on a view, getting up on the carport to keep the squirrels from building nests under my eaves. the utility is endless

Any ideas for repurposing the GFC badge from the rear of the tent? Paint came off in the manual car wash so I removed it for the extra t-nuts. Too big for a keychain…
I used 1/4” polycarbonate.
